[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Evening life in the smaller towns of Cuba.
Electricity is expensive so you can save some money to move you table and chairs to the street were, here and there a light in the street is strong enough to see each others face and to read your cards. Since there is no traffic in the streets, besides some lonely walkers, no problem at all.

p.s. Picture taken from a driving local bus with a driver who did want to be home ... Had to push the camera chip to his maximim to make the picture.

Frans normaal zou ik zeggen niet scherp maar in deze entourage past het zeer goed het geeft een macabere eenzame sfeer mooie avondkleuren en een goede dieptewerking.
TFS en een fijne zondag

Hi Frans
I liked the capture and the composition with the street, lampost and people in the side of the picture.
Good lights but maybe you should use a tripod and get more focus...
well done.

Hi Frans,
I like the mood you created with these card players all alone in the middle of the street in a warm night and a great perspective.

Really clean streets!! Wow!
A lot of solitude in this post... But also a warm mood and atmosphere. I can't make up my mind if it's postive or negative...
Either way, it's a great one :)

Very good composition! I think it is still a very effective shot even if it is noisy. Well done!
